A truck driver always drives 2 miles per hour. He drives for 2 hours each day, 6 days per week, and 3 weeks a year. How many miles will he drive in 9 years?

Answer :

Speed of the truck driver: 2miles/hour

Since, he drives 2 hours each day, he would dirve:

[tex]2\text{ }\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\times2\text{ hours=4 miles}[/tex]

Now, we multiplicate by 6 days:

4 miles *6= 24 miles --> the miles he will dirve per week, so now we multiplicate it by 3 weeks

24 miles*3=72 miles --> The miles he will drive per year, now we multiplicate it by 9 years!

72 miles *9=648 miles--> He would drive 648 miles in 9 years
